I hate to ask such a basic question, but this camera does have a FireWire port that speaks the Apple/Panasonic FW protocol, right? I mean, I really have not heard anything but assumptions on this. This port might be the key to a third party small drive or tape recording mechanism that one could wear on their body while shooting.
I mean, I haven’t even heard any guarantee that the camera can act as a viewing device to an HD monitor from a Final Cut Pro timeline without an HD card. Shouldn’t it?
